Asmita khelo india

Inspiring Women Through Action League: It wasn’t just the phoebus shining bright in the land of the rising sun, Arunachal Pradesh, this January. About 40km from Shi Yomi district, a strategically and geographically important Indian region in the North-East state, footballs were shining all the way.

The ASMITA Khelo India league forayed into new horizons this season as the football tournaments reached the remotest locations of Arunachal Pradesh. Three football tournaments kicked off in Ziro, Shi Yomi and Naharlagun from January 15.

Around 500 women participants from these regions played in the league. Monigong, a small arcane village on the Indo-China border in Shi Yomi district, was also an avid participant in the league with women across various age groups (U-13, U-15 and U-17) exhibiting extreme enthusiasm.
